Humanists International, Inc.

We are the global representative body of the humanist movement, uniting a diversity of non-religious organisations and individuals. We want everyone to live a life of dignity in a world where universal human rights are respected and protected, and where states uphold secularism.

We work to build and represent the global humanist movement that defends human rights and promotes Humanist values world-wide.
Our Aims are:
● We will have successful and sustainable member organisations in every part of the world
● We will create a coordinated global movement by supporting and developing our network
● We will influence and shape international and regional government policies
● We will have sufficient reputation, resources, and effectiveness to achieve our objectives

This strategic plan will see Humanists International continue to lead the international movement as an advocate for change. With increased resources from a more diverse range of sources we will have expanded our professional staff team and recruit more volunteers.

In 2020 Humanists International will be a larger and more professional organisation, with a noticeably more international feel whose content will be available in more languages. Our advocacy work will be strengthened by an expanded and reinvigorated team of delegations led by the Director of Advocacy. We will be including more of our members and supporters in our campaign work, in a more planned and thoughtful way. We will have more members in priority regions in the global south. These members will be engaged and active.

The Board of Humanists International will continue to give high-level strategic direction, ensure compliance and scrutinize the work of the staff team. The Board of Humanists International will continue to be a high-level group of dedicated people from a diverse background, who will oversee and scrutinize the work of the staff team.

As an advocate for progressive values and a driver of change, Humanists International has a reputation, at all the institutions where we work, as a source of clear, principled, and evidence-driven policy leadership. We provide unique and high-quality research, information, and leadership on key humanist issues. Looking towards 2020 we must improve the service we deliver to our members, so that they value membership with Humanists International as a cost-effective way of influencing the global agenda. Communicating the value of Humanists International membership and devising new and creative ways of supporting our members will be crucial to achieving our mission.

There are many exciting opportunities. We will continue to work flexibly and adapt to them as they arise, at the same time working to achieve planned and structured growth for our network.
